Health & Safety Programs
MISSION: The Office of Health develops, manages, and directs programs that provide comprehensive and effective policy for protecting the safety and health of workers at Department of Energy (DOE) facilities and communities surrounding those facilities.
The office conducts or participates in occupational medicine and health surveillance studies to determine worker and public health effects from exposures to hazardous materials and utilizes the results of these studies to enhance DOE, other Federal Agencies, and international workers’ protection policy.
The office establishes the Department’s performance expectations, as communicated in policy, standards, guidance and model contract language, for worker safety and health, including occupational medicine.
The office also evaluates the effectiveness of DOE safety and health policies and programs, and makes changes, as indicated, through the analysis of occupational medicine and health surveillance studies data.
